At the young age of 23, Michelangelo broke all traditions and created his first masterpiece - the Pietà, of Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ after his death, who looks as if he was sleeping peacefully.
Michelangelo’s David sculpture, carved from a 7-metre-high block of marble, also broke taboos of its time - an anatomically perfect body representing the freedom and sovereignty of the spirit. Michelangelo’s frescoes are no less monumental than his sculptures.
When Michelangelo was offered the job of decorating the arched ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he had never painted a fresco before. Michelangelo locked himself in the Sistine Chapel for four years and suffered terrible hardships while working day and night. The result was a work the likes of which had never been seen before: The Creation Story, portraying God’s creation of the world.

I am so proud of being italian and being born in a country that gave birth to such geniuses like Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, Verrocchio, Bernini, Cellini and all the others. Their genius and talent echoes in the eternity!

What a fantastic documentary… being 89 years old he was still active and his pieta was made when he was 22!

"What drove this obsessive artist?" I can't speak for Michaelangelo but I can speak for myself and my work. I'm a fiber artist and colourist, Guild Master in two disciplines and there is never a day when I go without using my needles (knitting, tapestry and embroidery, not heroin), except when I'm so ill that I'm in the hospital and it becomes impossible to sit up. I can only say what drives me: passion for colour, a cherry tree in blossom, a particular cloud formation over the ocean at the height of a Nor'easter, everywhere I turn there is something to see and understand, to study and let my imagination run wild as I think of ways to make seeing grass clippings and dog poop into something earthy and vibrant. There are many times that this kind of sensory intake becomes overwhelming to the point that I can not function outside my apartment door. (Then my dog will jump on me with a look on her face that says: "What are we doing inside? I'll go get my leash while you get dressed so we can go out for a walk!" jerking me back into the mundane and daily contact with the rest of the world. That too can be a challenge, just to lead what some may label a "normal life". I can't claim to have painted the Sistine Chapel or sculpted the Pieta but seeing others wearing the vibrant colours of my designs comes as close as I'll ever get. One might say I'm the proverbial starving and obsessed artist who lives to make my needles fly and sends me looking around the Internet for a great yarn or wool sale. I know I have at least these things in common with the maestro, the drive to work for three days straight without sleep or anything to eat, the desire to create perfection knowing that this is impossible, to have a mind so crowded with inspiration that overload can cripple me. These things I do understand, and I also understand the sense that even with the highest praise, the onlooker will never know what it takes to create art as close to perfection as any human can make it and never be satisfied and for an observation from someone which makes it difficult not to react with arrogance. The interior life of an artistic genius is extremely crowded, always open to everything in his surroundings mixed with the desire to please and the egotism of knowing there are only two other people alive today who can do what I do. It's hard to be deprecating and modest when someone tells me, "That's genius.", to smile and say, "Thank you, that's very kind of you" while thinking, "Right. It's only knitted, embroidered or cloth of gold fabric. For me, this is like brushing my teeth. I could pump out designs like this twice a week if I had 16 hands." And my real profession? Registered Nurse in Critical Care. It pays the bills.

Great to hear from contemporary artists being passionate about their work. It provides me with hope even being from a scientific background that indeed art will never die and rise up again with the winds of revolution.

I respect your extensive essay on your own artwork. However, all artists are driven-no matter how successful or not they are in the eyes of the world. I say this as both an art critic and artist myself. The maker of this documentary had nothing very profound to say so he/she kept repeating this cliche which is obvious from Michelangelo’s artwork and personal life. He just had more talent than most artists and sculptors of his time. He also found the right patrons.

Michelangelo was a genius. Despite concerns about the Sistine Chapel frescoes, it looks like they still pack it full of tourists. Hence the need for more filtration systems and sensors, and hence the need for more money and jamming it with more people each day. It's like a vicious cycle... Michelangelo focused on art, which was his love, and he was physically active while limiting the amount he ate. He didn't overindulge in anything, such as wine, lovers, and prostitutes. He was not anchored to a job he hated due to inflation, mortgages, taxes, and children's tuitions. This is why he lived to 89 in a world where the average lifespan was about age 35

I visited Florence 10 years ago, Rome last year, and watched more than 10 times of the movie "Agony And The Ecstasy", Michelangelo was the artist not do what he was told to do, he boldly and strongly expressed his soul, and rebellion against society. His power of art won his enemy's love to protect the heritage as well.

When I was a child, people were healthier and didn’t go to doctor’s offices frequently, in fact rarely. I also know that our dogs and cats lived longer and were rarely sick. Cancer was rare in humans and animals. What the heck happened ? Fast , non nutritious food, less time inside . Now we eat junk food in front of the tv for hours, don’t go outside much. , drive everywhere. We have to change our habits before the medical \pharmacy industry swallows us all up .

From Gemini on the question 'how did Michelangelo learn human anatomy': * Dissection: Unlike many artists, Michelangelo directly studied the human body through dissection. He reportedly began dissecting corpses in his late teens. * Drawing from Life: He meticulously drew from live models throughout his career. * Classical Sculpture: He studied the forms depicted in ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. - Accurate?

Michaelangelo's work is certainly worth being celebrated. However, I think he gets more credit than he deserves, as there were other pieces, created 200 years before Michaelangelo, that are absolutely stunning, life-like and outside Italy, which is why they have been deliberately left off the best list.. So yes, Michaelangelo was a fantastic sculptor, and a great painter, but there were other great ones before him.

In the video, he studies Canova's art pieces but I think it's still relevant to the argument made. Hope you enjoy it 🙂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5qZgtqFx6q8Ymg.html

@jolicska Actually it's hard to say, probably was a misunderstanding or envie, Pietro Torrigiani the guy who beaten him, got a very bad temper as much as Michelangelo, at that time rivalry between artist they were pretty harsh and unscrupulous. Torrigiani after that has been exiled and he kept going as a sculpture out side Italy and worked as mercenary soldier and has been imprisoned in Spain for controversial ussues. He got a adventurous life, an outstanding artist as well indeed
